COLOUR: WHY THE WORLD ISN'T GREY.

Colour: Why the World Isn't Grey. Hazel Rossotti. p26-34; 44-47.

I am particularly interested in the way in which light behaves with glass of differing thicknesses and densities and the way in which the movement of light is diagrammatically mapped in the form of refraction diagrams.

CENTRE FOR FILM AND VISUAL MEDIA RESEARCH.

at London's Birkbeck College.
by Surface Architects.

links to jewellery box but on much larger scale.
fragmentation of volume yet fits together perfectly like a puzzle.
use of colour to give sense of volume and direction.

Zurich.

Glass Bottle Store - Adelaide.

shoe stores. via the cool hunter.

creation of pattern/volume/larger object through organisation of multiple 'box' scaled objects eg shoes. no longer read them as individual but instead as a singular, more complex entity.

Dunhill: NY Fashion Week.

lines and transparent surfaces give ambiguous sense of depth and direction. compliments objects and the way in which they are displayed rather than overpowering it.
